How to Add Items to the Fixed Clipboard

It’s important to understand that the fixed clipboard is different from the standard copy paste software clipboard which is usually utilised far more than the fixed clipboard. The fix clipboard’s primary purpose is to store text snippets or photos or files that you use on a regular basis. Now some of these items on this clipboard you may not need to use for weeks at a time but as long as you know that you have them saved on the fix clipboard you can call up the fix clipboard quite easily by pressing the shortcut key combination of ‘WIN + A’. As soon as you do this you’ll see all of your fixed clips on this clipboard and you can easily navigate through them and choose the one you need.

What we suggest you keep on this clipboard are phone numbers or email addresses or large snippets of text that you may use from time to time. This way, no matter what program you are in, you can just press the ‘WIN + A’ Hotkey and select the correct snippet to paste in. Please watch the below video for further details.

By editing certain clips, mainly whilst using the fixed clipboard, you can paste in the original item with added information dependent on the Macro you select. For example; if you add the {#date} Macro to a saved clip, then every time you paste in that clip form the fixed clipboard it will automatically add the date to the beginning or end of the pasted item.

Shortcut Keys Do Not Work

Everyones computer is different with different programs installed on them and some of these programs may have a higher priority than Copy Paste Software. The way around this is to ensure that the software has the highest privileges so all of the shortcut keys work for you all of the time.

To set the program with the right permissions go to Settings > Settings > Misc > Task Options > and ensure execution options are set to high as per the below screenshot.

If you can’t see the Misc option available as per the below screenshot then you need to reconfigure the software so you see the main setup screen again which is very easy.

Simply go to: Tools > Wizards > Restart Configuration Wizard. Then when you’re presented with the first screen be sure to choose the ‘Professional, programmer, developer option. Then just click next through all the prompts until the reconfiguration is complete. Once you open the setting screen again via; (Settings > Settings) or (Win+ALT+F11) you will now see the task options as per the above screenshot.

When copying username & password I’d like for them to time out and auto delete after say 30 seconds…

This simply wouldn’t be possible because the program wouldn’t be able to identify that you’ve copied username and password. Every username and password is just text and numbers just like everything else you copy, so it would make it next to impossible for the program to identify that you have actually copied our username and password.

The only way to do this is just to ensure that after you have copied and pasted the username and password, just press WIN + V to open up your pop-up clipboard – and then simply delete that username and passed by using the delete key.
